Motorola Krave ZN4

Speed Dial?

I have been reading reviews on the Krave and I am confused about something. Is there any type of "Speed Dial" function on this phone? Example: On my current Sony phone (AT&T) I can call home by simply hitting the number 1 and then "Call. My wife is 2 "call", my son is 3 "call" and so on. Does the Krave have anything similar? What's the fastest way to dial frequently called numbers? Thanks in advance.

Presently holding the #1 button is the only conventional Speed Dial and connects to voice mail, *86. There is a firmware update in the works.

The phone has 3 ICE contacts, and "Favorites", so you can get to your 1 touch contacts with 2 taps.

I am not sure about OTA or in the store. I did it directly from http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/motosupp ort/source/softwareupdateselect.asp?country=U SA&language=ENS using a USB cable. Worked great, took about 10 minutes. New version is BLAZE1_01.28.02P.

I was playing with this phone in the store, it had the latest update which does update itself over the air. I just can't get use to the keyboard; with the flip cover on the left side it makes two thumb typing almost impossible.

Then I was trying the LG Versa for a while; big difference. Even without the attached keyboard; I just use the on screen touch keyboard, it was much more responsive, easier to use, and didn't have that annoying flip in the way. I like the flip but it cause a big issue for typing.

Another thing, although minor, the camera on the Versa seems much better. Again more responsive and has that great LG feature of panorama view picture taking . . . so easy.

All in all, it just seems that LG has their software togethe...(continues)

I ordered the Krave for my mom, the package came in and I set it up for her...the new ones come with the updated software. And yes, it does have good old-fashioned speed dial! Looks like they've also changed the way the dialpad looks and added more customizable features (though I haven't spent more than a few minutes with it). Now I'm kinda wishing that I hadn't returned my Krave since it had the best call quality I've seen for a long time. Couldn't do without the speed dials, but now that it's back...too bad, cos my mom loves hers and won't trade for my Voyager.
